Big Brother, Gautrain edition

I noticed something interesting this morning when I took the train from Sandton to Rosebank. This security guard was filming passengers with a small digital camera or camera phone and trying to be surreptitious in the process.

The stations have CCTV so why would a security guard need to video passengers in such a suspicious way? Bomblet is working hard to appear untrustworthy and very much Big Brother.

Update: Here is a photo I took with my DSLR which I tend to carry with me everywhere.

Update 2: A Gautrain representative has responded on Twitter and Bombela seems to be investigating this matter which doesn’t seem to be a Bombela initiative:

@pauljacobson @corrie206 This is bizarre, we are trying to find out more. Good thing you managed to get the face in the pic!
